These are all good points, however management is already convinced of the technical suitability to our project. They also have a hunch that we're not kidding that Python is easy to learn. I was thinking of teaching the main person I need to convince as part of my argument! Their only issue is what happens if for some reason they get stuck holding the bag on a product written in Python and need to quickly get somebody to fix something that might get broken, and the 2 programmers who know Python have as they say "been hit by a bus." If I don't get succeed with demonstrating that Python folk are available, I'll go with the "it's easy to learn" tactic. We'll see.
